Happy Sunday! It's February 2nd! And the groundhogs have not seen their shadows so that means early spring! The sun is shining here and the temp is in the 40s so it certainly feels like spring is around the corner.

Grief
Last June, I wrote a post about how grief is weird. I talked about how it's an ongoing process and it doesn't ever really go away. It's a natural part of life and it's ok to feel grief when someone is gone. This weekend reminded me that it is also complicated. When a public figure … Continue reading Grief
Prompt 362 – Beautiful Disaster
What do you consider to be a beautiful disaster and why? I’d never met a more unfortunate soul than Daria Smith. If her life were a novel, critics would call it unrealistic. Not even a fictional character could endure so many tragedies, so much suffering, in a single short lifetime. But Daria did. She survived … Continue reading Prompt 362 – Beautiful Disaster
Prompt 361 – Personal Pizza
If you were going to design a pizza after yourself, what would be on it and what would each of those ingredients represent? Man, I love pizza. It’s a perfect meal. Carbs, veggies, protein, fat. There’s no bad time to eat it. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, 1am after leaving the bar. That was my favorite pizza. … Continue reading Prompt 361 – Personal Pizza

Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
Do you follow your gut instincts and if so are they usually right? Thunder echoed in the distance at steady intervals.

Up above the Earth, new lights shone and danced among the familiar constellations. … Continue reading Prompt 355 – Gut Instincts
State of the Closet: 2020
*rolls backwards into the blog on rollerblades a week late with Starbucks and crazy sunglasses* What is up my fellow writing kids? Happy New Year! Congrats! We survived another trip around the ball of space fire that keeps us alive! *confetti explosion* It has been a weird couple of weeks for me. I have not … Continue reading State of the Closet: 2020
Prompt 354 – Refusal
What unrealistic demands or pressures do you refuse to give in to? “Absolutely not.” “Gabe, please!” Julian’s voice cracked with the plea. “You’re the only one left who can!” Gabriel leered down at the pitiable man groveling at his feet. Julian had been strong, once. A leader worth following. He’d thrown all of that away … Continue reading Prompt 354 – Refusal
2019 Reading List
Hey there! Another night, another post. This one will be a bit different. As writers, we tend to spend a lot of time in our own worlds, but it's necessary to step out of them once in a while and refill the well. I do not read nearly as much or as often as I … Continue reading 2019 Reading List
Prompt 353 – Global Goals
What do you think should be a goal for every person on the planet? Do one kind thing every day. It doesn’t have to be huge or life-altering, just do one kind thing. Even if it’s for yourself. It can be as simple as giving yourself five extra minutes alone in the midst of an … Continue reading Prompt 353 – Global Goals
